Sure, not a problem. I logged it on a thread called 'an almost starch free fat free experiment' (must check that name is correct) . I started by aiming to lower calories from normal non dieting level of approx 2400 to a few hundred less while keeping nutrition up, checking on cronometer. When lowering fat I easily got it to 1800 so tried that for a while seeing as I was there already. Stopped when I gave myself gut pain after 3.5 weeks. So as the title says it was low fat, starch free, but plenty of protein and fruit and sugar. And fat free milk and minerals. When I have access to laptop not smart phone I'll try a screenshot from cronometer there to show food choices.
To answer your other question, I did not gain weight in the first place by peating, I just ate to appetite. This was after years of low carb dieting and other great ideas like hcg. By then my metabolism was terrible and my thyroid at a low. Only when starting peating almost two years later, at a high but stable weight, did I realize that avoiding pufas takes more work than you think. So while I'd been using butter and coconut oil for years I'd certainly been getting more than 4g pufa a day.
Apologies the timeline is all wrong. Back to front. Hope not too confusing.
